Sharing a picture of her bathroom online, the woman explained how she was keeping a basket of unmatched socks on top of her toilet in case of a loo roll shortage.
She captioned the image: “And to think I almost threw the unmatched socks away!”
Needless to say, her approach divided members of the Mrs Hinch Made Me Do It Facebook group.
One replied: “No toilet roll!! Use odd socks. Brilliant idea.”

Another joked: “Now there’s a good idea. I knew they’d have a purpose one day.”
However, a third outraged user replied: “EW no. Get your a**e under a shower. Rinse it off.”
“OMG please just wash yourself,” one responded. “It’s a lot more hygienic.”
But this isn’t the only instance where mums have had to go to extreme measures to combat the toilet paper shortage.

Earlier this month, mums were stocking up £25 resuable fabric toilet paper as supplies began dwindling amid the coronavirus panic.
Maker Eloise Marsh posted to the For the Love of Australian Handmade Facebook group her unique solution to the toilet paper crisis gripping the nation in the wake of the spread of coronavirus.
“Introducing washable/reusable non-toilet paper!” she wrote.
“Just to get you by (you could ration your toilet paper and just use this for number ones, leaving your precious toilet paper for number twos) or you could save a bunch of money on toilet paper by using this all the time!”
Each roll is made of 12 squares of pretty printed material with a terry towelling backing that can be wound around your toilet holder.
